had only afforded Missouri another Op-
portunity to extend a hearty and I'M
partisan invitation to worthy chief
magistrate of the nation. Numerous

about 100 is representative one, being
composed of business men and manu-
facturers without respect to party, and
is headed by Hon. G. II. Allen, presi-
dent of the board of trade, who with
George F. Winter, will join the party at
Columbus, o. Mr.. Allen will deliver
the address to the president. Several
of the committee are accompanied by
their wives and daughters. The invita-
ton, which is beautifully illustrated,
contains $1,000 names, which were OBJ
tanned in seven days by five young
men. Although Mr.. Allen, the chair
man of the committee, is Republican
the delegation is in no sense political.
1t is a representation of Kansas City
business life, and it would require
tally to determine whether Republicans
OF Democrats are in the majority.
